General Advice

What is in more demand? should i gear towards web development or mobile?

I would like to be a software engineer, but i was leaning towards mobile app development because i believe there will be less change, and less new programs to learn. I want to work for a big wig like facebook or amazon, to do this should i go web development (python etc.) Or mobile development (IOS course)?

If you are starting out new it’s best to learn web development first because Ruby and Python are much easier to pick up for total beginners. It's easier to go from web development to mobile then the other way around. The more important question is not where to start, but how to develop the right skills to learn efficiently’. Here at Makers Academy we teach web development but what we are actually teaching is learning how to learn:https://www.switchup.org/blog/makers-academy-sets-the-record-straight-on-teacher-time so we are giving you power to be able to go and pick up new languages in your own time. Despite not teaching mobile development on our course many of our students go on to build mobile apps for their final projects.
